c++ #include error

[Folgad0]

I solved all my problems .. Tough time But thank you all

Squiggles (i.e.: IntelliSense errors) are often wrong or out of date. While they are useful when they do work, don't ever rely on them as actual "errors". Compile the project and that will tell you if you do have any errors.

In this particular case, a freshly created class will not have a header generated since that happens on a full compile. So "Weapon.generated.h" being underlined is irrelevant until you compile first.

I just noticed , that everytime i create a new project (c++ code) , and create an actor i alway have errors , without changing anything.

Here is an example :

I think your header tool is trying to say something. It might be worth following its directives.

Ok, here is the screen shot



and now this one



Also i have changed GENERATED_BODY() to GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY() and gives me the same errors :/

There has been some changes with the introduction of the GENERATED_BODY macro. If you want to follow the tutorial with no hassle, change GENERATED_BODY() to GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY().
Then you will use constructors etc. the old way, like the tutorials.

Without seeing more of your code, I can only assume that this is the cause...

Your post came out malformed. Can you repost it with the code you're using and the error messages you're getting?

Thanks.

hmm , ok so i made new project, followed tuturial , and copied ur code. most of things are goood only this now:

#include "Pickup.generated.h"

/**
*
*/
UCLASS()
class TUTORIALCODE_API APickup : public AActor
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

This is the error it self , the rest is good


Any idea ?

[Folgad0]

ha ya , i noticed that and i actually changed it. And still gives me the errors...
Ill just create new project with same name as you ,and ill see if works
Thanks for the help so far everyone

Btw what do you mean with
B) Change your #include to your .H file
I dont understand

Sorry, that may have been a bit unclear.

You have a line at the top of your code which says: #include "TutorialCode.h" and that's pointing to a file which doesn't exist. Instead, you can change that to point to your header file by writing: #include "TuturialThirdPerson.h" which should exist (based off of the screenshots I saw).

[Slayemin]

Fair enough. Did you get the code to compile without errors after my suggested fix?

[Folgad0]

Btw what do you mean with

[Folgad0]

and also i know tuturial is misspelled, everything is tuturial for me (im not english easier )

[Slayemin]

Yeah... so, the problem is that your project is named "TuturialThirdPerson" (which has a misspelling, btw). Mine was called "TutorialCode".

When I created my project, the "tutorialcode.h" file was pregenerated and included in the project. You probably have a "tuturialThirdPerson.h" file somewhere. You need to change this. You have a few options:

A) Rename the "tuturialthirdperson.h" file to "tutorialcode.h"
B) Change your #include to your .H file
C) Create a new project called "TutorialCode" (to perfectly reflect the demo videos and avoid future translation mistakes)

What's happening?
Well, the pregenerated file has:

// Copyright 1998-2014 Epic Games, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

#ifndef __TUTORIALCODE_H__
#define __TUTORIALCODE_H__

#include "EngineMinimal.h"

#endif

Which means that it's including all of the minimal features/capabilites of the engine. Since you aren't including it, all of the engine capabilities you're trying to use are unknown to the compiler and you're getting the funky errors you're seeing.

And also in the .H file i got this error
